“My Easter Egger came in the arrival package of 4 hens 2 weeks ago. It has been a nightmare.
My easter egger has terrible pecking wounds that im sure were only exacerbated by the fact the chickens were kept in a small shipping container with nothing keeping the birds from attacking each other.
Pecking wounds aren't a bid deal, if it weren't for chickens being known for attacking sores, especially those that are bleeding.
So now I need to divide my quarantine pen, again, to separate this poor chicken so she doesn't continue to be attacked. Buying 'peck be gone' and other home made remedies to try to prevent pecking. Only for it all to be in vain as the creature suffers.
Costing even more money, stress and aggravation than any of it is worth. This is a disaster.
Do not buy animals online. Despite the claims, its safer, or safe or 'minimum fatality rate' or whatever boilerplate corporate jargon is used, they are living animals, and there is no way to ship 4 living creatures in something no larger than a bread box and expect it to go smoothly.”
“They were shipped and in home with in 20 hours from being shipped. I love them they are all very sweet. I had to call with a question and pet chicken was great”
“Finally had a moment to post. The new batch of Easter Eggers are fantastic, happy and healthy. All eight are running around and enjoying the Florida summer weather. I have quite the colorful group too. Black with some white, white with a little black, golden, copper, and a silver with brown. Thank you My Pet Chicken. Very happy with my new babies.”
